How well do you know your texting slang?
In education, a TA is a "teaching assistant." While TA can refer to any sort of teaching assistant, it typically refers to a graduate student who assists a college professor with their teaching courseload.
TAs assist teachers by handling some classroom sessions, grading homework, tutoring students, and holding office hours. Often, TAs are themselves looking to become teachers - and working as a TA provides them with practice.
